Phoenix Golf Resort: Vietnam’s Largest and Most Scenic Golf Complex

Set amid towering limestone karsts in Hoa Binh Province, Phoenix Golf Resort is Vietnam’s largest pure-play golf facility, offering 54 holes across three distinct courses—Phoenix, Dragon, and Champion. Designed by Ronald Fream of Golfplan, the resort blends dramatic elevation, island-style fairways, and panoramic views in a setting often called “Halong Bay on Land.”

The Dragon Course is the standout, with cliff-lined corridors, water hazards, and jaw-dropping scenery that rivals Vietnam’s coastal icons. The Champion Course offers a more open, links-style layout, while the Phoenix Course winds through hilly terrain with sharp undulations and strategic bunkering. Each course features fast greens, natural rock formations, and a variety of shot-making challenges. With its scale, beauty, and variety, Phoenix Golf Resort is a must-play for adventurous golfers and photography lovers alike.
